JUST IN: I Did Not Resign-Osinbajo

By Talatu Bala

Professor Yemi Osinbajo has dismissed rumours suggesting that he had resigned his post as Vice President of Nigeria.

Professor Yemi Osinbajo took to social media to deny the speculations, describing them as ‘Fake News’.

According to him , “Misleading/FAKE news is on the rise especially in this season when Nigerians will make a choice about who will govern them for the next four years.

He said he remain committed to the service of the Nigerian people under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Professor Yemi Osinbajo said the rumours are all part of propaganda which started from his absence at the last security meeting in Abuja.

“I was too busy in my office while the meeting was underway, adding that the same security chiefs that met with the President held a meeting with me on the same day,” Osinbajo said.

The Vice President said, those who peddled the lies about his resignation said he was annoyed and expressed anger because he was not at the security meeting, and had to resign.

He urged Nigerians to disregard such information, reiterating that he remains the Vice President of the country and running mate of President Muhammadu Buhari for the forthcoming elections.
